Let’s get started! **Paris Saint Germain vs AC Milan** PSG is poised for a crucial Champions League showdown as they welcome AC Milan to the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night. Both teams enter this clash with impressive records, boasting just one defeat in their last five matches. PSG will be favorites for this one; the Parisien side bounced back with two successive Ligue 1 victories following their difficult encounter with Newcastle three weeks ago while AC Milan lost to Juventus last weekend. In stark contrast to AC Milan’s laboured approach, Luis Enrique’s squad exhibited confidence in their recent 3-0 triumph over Strasbourg. Additionally, they enjoy an extra day of rest which should help their high press. On the other hand, Milan, despite a recent loss at the hands of Juventus on Sunday night, maintain a strong position in Serie A. Stefano Piolo’s side is still in pursuit of their first Champions League victory and goal of the season after two goalless draws in their initial matches. **Key players:** Kylian Mbappe is the player to watch for PSG. He has scored six of his previous nine UCL home goals within the opening 25 minutes and will be PSG’s biggest threat. Milan will hope Christian Pulisic can find the net, given he has led his team to victory in his last ten goalscoring appearances, including four this term. The Parc des Princes is set for a closely contested battle, but we favour [PSG at 1.80 odds](https://m.betking.com/sports/match/5676388/paris-saint-germain-milan) to edge Milan in this high-stakes clash.
**Sevilla vs Arsenal** The Gunners have a difficult task against the Europa League champions, Sevilla, in a Champions League Group B clash on Tuesday evening. After managing to maintain their unbeaten run in the 2023-24 Premier League season following a hard fought 2-2 draw against Chelsea last Saturday, Arsenal will be eager to get back to winning ways. In their previous UCL outing, Mikel Arteta’s team fell to a 2-1 defeat against Lens while, Los Palanganas and PSV Eindhoven played out an exhilarating 2-2 draw, leaving the group finely balanced. The only Champions league meeting between these two sides saw Arsenal fall to a 3-1 defeat in the 2007-08 season at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan but much has changed since then. Unfortunately for the Gunners, they don’t have a good record against Spanish opposition; they have won only three of their last 17 matches away from home against Spanish opponents in all competitions, with their previous such victory coming against Valencia in 2019. As for Sevilla, they have lost only three of their last 10 matches at home against English teams in all competitions. The most recent was a 3-0 win against Manchester United earlier this year. Sevilla have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five games while Arsenal have conceded 4 goals in their last 3 games. For this reason, we’ll go with both teams to score and an audacious full-time draw prediction.
**Manchester United vs FC Copenhagen** Erik Ten Hag’s men find themselves in the sorry position of being among the five teams without a single point in the Champions League so far. As it stands, the Red Devils have no margin for error; failing to secure a victory in their next match against FC Copenhagen will put a big dent on their hopes of going far in the UCL this season. Unfortunately for the home side, injury concerns persist. The absence of Lisandro Martinez, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia has forced the Red Devils to rely on defenders like Johnny Evans and Harry Maguire while Casemiro’s suspension and Jadon Sancho’s continued exclusion leaves the squad looking threadbare. Copenhagen also has several key players unavailable, with Birger Meling, William Clem, Noah Sahsah, and Nicolai Boilesen all unavailable. Heading into this tie, the visitors have struggled with 2 wins from 5. **Our verdict:** the Red Devils still have enough quality to see out Copenhagen especially with an early exit looming if they fail to win.
**Newcastle United vs Borussia Dortmund** Newcastle United are currently riding high with six wins from their last eight games as they prepare for a thrilling showdown with German powerhouse Borussia Dortmund at St James’ Park on Wednesday. This marks the first competitive encounter between two clubs known for their passionate support. The hosts, with four points in Group F, have been the talk of the town following their remarkable 4-1 whitewashing of Paris Saint-Germain. In contrast, Dortmund is still chasing their first victory in the competition. The German side has won four of their last five games and scored nine goals in the process while their hosts have also won four of their last five games, scoring 13 goals in the process. **Our verdict:** “both teams to score” and “Over 2.5 goals” are the best options for this on.
**Galatasaray vs Bayern Munich** Riding high on their impressive Champions League record, Bayern Munich travel to face Galatasaray at the Rams Global Stadium. The German champions recently achieved a remarkable feat after becoming the first team to go unbeaten in 18 consecutive away group games with a 2-1 win against FC Copenhagen on match-day 2 (including 16 wins and 2 draws). This success is part of their larger unbeaten streak, with 36 consecutive unbeaten matches in the Champions’ League group stage, comprising 33 wins and 3 draws. Heading into this clash, the stats favour Bayern, who have also won their last five meetings with Turkish opponents by an aggregate score of 18-1. Galatasaray’s failure to win any Champions League home game against German opposition also makes a stronger case for a Bayern win. While a Bayern Munich straight win is a very realistic bet, the goals market is also worth considering as there have been 10 goals scored in Bayern’s two Champions League matches while Galatasaray’s opening two matches have seen nine goals scored
